More youth violence in Albany: Two teens shot, another arrested

An 18-year-old from Albany man faces assault charges this morning after police say he fired a shotgun at a 19-year-old and and 17-year-old on Robin Street.

Kedar Morton, 18, of 598 Clinton Ave., was arraigned Saturday morning in City Court, a day after he unloaded the birdshot at the other teen.

Neither victim was seriously injured, but the shooting was another reminder of the child-on-child violence that has marked Albany crime in recent years, including one murder that featured a 10-year-old victim and at least three others that involved teens over the last two years.
